Noob Dad...many questions

Coaches can call or email a high school senior at any time, including quiet and dead periods.

Recruiting periods defined (You'll see an evaluation period defined, but that's for other sports. Baseball doesn't have an evaluation period.)

College camps have special rules, and are exempt from following the standard (contact, quiet, and dead) recruiting calendar. So coaches can talk to your son at a camp.

The bottom line is that if college coaches are interested, they can easily establish communications.

Regarding the camp invitation, I recommend calling the coach to find out if he really knows anything about your son. For example, he could call, state his name, and wait to find out if they know he is a pitcher, that he is right handed, or where he goes to high school.

If not, it's probably a long shot to get recruited out of that camp.

3FG,
Thanks, very clear & helpful. Is there a minimum SAT score required or does it depend on the school?

There is a NCAA standard, and many colleges require more than the NCAA minimum. For D1, the required SAT score depends on core GPA.

You really should read the Guide for the college bound athlete . Just click on "Download PDF" and you'll get a single copy.

3FG,

Yeah, I've read it but, it's still confusing.
